EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "St. Denis, B. Mr. 1913" by Arnold Genthe, transports us back to the early 1910s in the United States. The image showcases a powerful and poised athlete, identified as St. Denis B, in a full-length portrait. He stands confidently in profile, dressed only in a loincloth, revealing his muscular physique and anatomical form. The discus thrower exudes an air of statuesque stillness, as if frozen in mid-throw. Arnold Genthe, a renowned photographer of the 20th century, captured this image using glass negatives. The photograph is a testament to the arts and sciences of the era, showcasing the fusion of athleticism, fashion, and performance. St. Denis B's anatomical poise and the subtle contrast between the dark loincloth and the light background highlight the concept of contrast and the beauty of monochrome imagery. This photograph, now housed in the Library of Congress, is a valuable piece of heritage art that speaks to the rich history of American sports and culture. The image invites us to reflect on the evolution of athletic fashion, from the simple loincloth to the complex and technologically advanced clothing of today's athletes. St. Denis B's portrait stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the human form and the power of photography to capture and preserve moments in time.
